CHLOE GIORDANO

Chloe Giordano is a leading UK illustrator whose work is inspired by the natural world. Her highly skilled embroidery technique has developed over many years - a process she fondly refers to as free hand needle painting.

Chloe approaches her pieces much like a traditional painting, constructing each artwork with thread. Based in North Yorkshire, her practice combines a strong foundation in drawing with a focus on realism, resulting in intricately detailed, lifelike embroideries.

She typically works on cotton or unbleached calico, using Gutermann sewing threads.

A deep connection to nature underpins Chloe’s work. She draws particular inspiration from her garden and her involvement in managing the wildlife in her local churchyard, often translating these insights into her pieces.

Chloe has illustrated several children’s books, as well as creating commissioned book covers and best-selling licensed ranges. Her clients include Penguin Random House, Quarto, Canongate Books,
Museums & Galleries, Fable England, Woodmansterne,
and Bloomsbury Publishing.
